W. HOLT
MajonbsSt Assp Grkksbacks—The paper promises
of tbe Administration koown as greenbacks, not
redeemable, and whicb are now selling at fifty-
seven cents on tbe dollar, have Masonic emblems
thereon ; the demand notes, which are redeemable
In gold, bave no Masonry about them.
Mr. Cbase is understood to be ao anti-Mason. Mr.
Sewaid, it is well known, started io political life
oo tbat hobby. Was tbis intended as an insult to
Masonry, in placing the square and compass on the
worthless trash, and not on the redeemable, or was
it to bring tbe aid of Masonry to work off the trash ?
Tbe anti-Masonry of the leading member of the
Cabinet would favor tbe first proposition—the,
onnning of Mr. Chase favors the later
The idea of lugging Masonry into politics
and to make it thus give aid to ao Abolition Administration, shows bow little these gentlemen
know abont tbat ancient Order. It bas never dabbled in polities—it has nothing to do with Abolitionism. None unless free horn, and properly
vouched for no matter how worthy or well qualified, can be admitted as a member, aod from tbe
day when tradition says Masonry was established,
at tbe building ol Solomon's Temple, this rule has
never been departed Irom. It is not then, an Abolition institution. Wby, tben, does the administration insult it, or try to use it to give currency to
the irredeemable trash called greenbacks? Who
cau answer!—.Y. F. News.
"PEACE AND GOOD WILL."
Peace and good will! so sang the aogel minstrels
Through tbe calm night on old Jndea's plaint,
Wben as tbe golden gates of Heaven opened
Tbe wondering shepherds heard the immortal
strains.
Peace and good will! oh sound of Joy and blessing
Across Time's ocean wafted sweet and clear,
The lingering tones ol Heaven's own choir possessing,
Be It our watchword for the coming year.
Peace and good will I above the battle's turmoil
Still may that oarol sound to us to-day
From those pare regions where It first was echoed,
Like music breathing from the far away.
Peace and good will! oh waiting wives aod mothers,
Wbnse laving eyes are dimmed with anxious oare,
Ob, Ii ttie children, spotless as tbe angels,
Be this the tenor ofyourCbristian prayer.
'"Oh God of Peace, who boldest all nations
Within the hollow of Tby mighty Hand,
Establish Peaoa witbio our country's borders,
And heal the sorrows of this bleeding land."

Particulars ofthe Engagement of the "Ktar-
sage" and .'Alabama."
Naw Yorr. July 6.—The Times' Paris correspondent says : Notwithstanding the reports, some
time since, that the Alabama was so worn oot that
she wonld have to be abaodoned and never go on
the ocean again, sbe made a trip from tbe East to
Cberburg in snob short time tbat she was thought
to be tbe Florida, and was so telegraphed on ber
arrival. Capt. Winelow, with the Kearsage, who
was then in Holland, was immediately seat for,
and by the protest of Mr. Dayton tbe French authorities were obliged to order the Alabama out
of port Semmes pnt the best face be could oo tbe
matter, though evidently be d d oot like to face a
war ship.- The fight was so short and deceive that
one would bave thought tbe Alabama bad chang.
ed places witb One ot ber unarmed merchantmen-
When the Allbama wbb disabled in ber machinery
the Kearsage was run up close to her and poured
a destructive broadside which tore away a whole
section of tbe Alabama's side at the water line, and
let tbe water through io cascades. Tbe Alabama
then turned tail aod made for shore. Commander
Window hoisted the flag of victory and pursued,bui
finding tbe Alabama sinking, be lowered bis boats
to pick up ber crew. Mr.-Dayton informed Commander Wlnslow that tbe prisoners could not be
paroled, bnt tbat they might be transferred to tbe
St. Louis, wben she arrived and conveyed to the
United States. Commander Winston claims Capt.
Semmes, and others taken to Southampton, as his
prisoners. He bad ample means to pick them up.
bnt the English yacht actually stole tbem, as if by
a pre-arranged plan thus constituting a clear case
lor intervention.
The Tribune's Washington special says Commander Wioslow, of tbe Kearsage, ie recommended by the Secretary of tbe Navy to be promoted
a Commodore. It Is said here that the value of thr
Alabama will be distributed among the officers and
men of lhe Kearsage by tbe next Congress.
Washington, July 6.—The Navy Department
bas received the following :
TT. S. Steamer Kearsage, June 9.
I bave the honor to Inform tbe Department tbat
tbe day subsequent to the arrival of the Kearsage
off Cberburg, tbe 14ih, I received a note Iron
Capt. Semmes, begging tbat the Kearsage would
not depart, as be intended to fight her, aod would
not delay her but a day or two. According to tbis
notice ,tbe Alabama left the port of Cberburg ai
half-past nine this morning, fearing a question of
jurisdiction might arise, we steamed to sea until
the distance of six or seven miles was obtained
from the Cberburg breakwater, wbeo wn rouoded
to aud commenced steering forthe Alabama. As
we approaobed within twelve hundred yards sbe
opened fire, we received two or three broadsides
before a shot was returned. Tbe aotion oontinued,
the respective steamers making a circle aronnd, at
a distance of about four hundred yards from each
other. At the expiration of about an hour the
Alabama struck, going down twenty minutes afterwards, carrying many persons witb ber.
(Signed ) Captain John A. WrasTos.
Halifax, July 6.—The following was received
per steamer Asia : A letter ia tbe Paris Patne
states tbat Captain Semmes bas annouooed tbat on
the 15th of August, be will again embark on a new
Alabama, which will be completed at tbat date.
Rumor points to tbe steamer Rappahannock, tbe
ex-British war vessel, whicb stole away from
Sbearness to Calais. A committee headed by Ad
miral Adsoo, haa been formed ia London to raise
means therefor.
Thdblow Weed on a Matter or Conscience.—
Tbis veteran politician, iu a recent letttr to the
Albany Evening Journal, thus applies tbe rod to
two of bti friends :
"It is tn be regretted, also, that leading boiste
rous abolitionists, who are so free of iheir abuse of
all who differ with tbem, fail to jnetify tbeir precepts by tbeir examples. Tbe editor of the Independent whose zeal for the draft led him to rail at
all who questioned its wisdom, when drafted himself iogloriously shirks from taking his share of
duty aod danger! Shame on sucb a weak! Subject by law to military duty, and constantly pressing others into tbe field, Mr, Tilton must be craven iu spirit, without patriotism, pride or manhood
to ekulk a draft himself, while he is meroiless io
regard to tbe machaoic or laborer wbo is compelled to leave his wife and children. * • • still
more mortifying, if possible, is the course of Mayor Opdyke, whose dratted sou iostead of gallantly stepping forward, as an example to paes men,
skulks! Tbe Mayor is filled with patiifffism at
conventions and in proclamations ; he is gorged
witb Government contracts; be leans heavily upon
tbe Government to make good bis lost profits;
but his son, wben dralted, is not strong enough to
be a soldier! He is, however, strong enough to
bold offices; but tbese offices do not expose him to
anything but salary and fees. Being a soldier ia
quite a difiereat thing. Out upou sucb false pretentions—such oheap loyalty—such bogus patriot

Tbe Presidency.
We have reoeived the following communication :
Reading, Pa., May 10, 1864.
To the Editor of the A ew York Newt:
Tbe Peace men of this vicinity want to know if
the Daily News will support a War Democrat for
tbe Presidency. Peace Democrat.
We are suprised that a Peace Democrat should
have asked suoh a question. He surely cannot
be lainiliar wilh the columns of the Daily News.
We have attempted to render our position npon
tbat point as plain aad unequivocal aB possible.
Tbe Daily Ntws will support Wr-the Presidency
none bnt a iborougb and unmistakable Peace man.
We bave reason to hope tbat, in view of the rapidly increasing strength ofthe Peace element, tbe
Democracy will nominate a candidate upon tbe
Peace platform Should tbey not do so tbe Daily
News will be identified witb no candidate for the
Presidency. We have stated lu a recent article
tbat we know no distinction between a War Democrat and tbe most rabid and incorrigible Aboli-
tioniat.—^V. Y. Newt. .
EASTERN INTELLIGENCE.
New York, June 27 —The Tribune's special,
from tbe army of the 25th, says : Baldy Smith ia
holding a position next to the Appomattox, within a mile of the eity. He bas a lioe stretching
along the plain at right-angles with tha river.—
He was attacked by the rebels on Friday morning,
tbey holding the position opposite tbe river.—
They opened at six o'clock with sixty cannon,
thus subjecting the Eighteenth Corps to an enfilading fire. Shortly after they opened musketry fire,
and another rebel force In our front advanced upon
our works. Their repulse was tbe work of bat a
few moments. One hundred and sixty-five of
tbem were taken prisoners
Tbe Times' of the 24th says : It Is ascertained
that Longstreet and Hill moved towards Weldon,
having vacated tbe entrenchments In our front
dnring the skirmish this morning. From prisoners it is ascertained tbat Beauregard's main ara
my is now covering Petersburg, while Lee's foroea
are moving toour left, witb what design remains to
be seen. Deserters report oar shelling of Petersburg as very disastrous. Tbey also say tbat the)
rebel army Is constantly marching and couu-
ermarcblng to guard against expected attacks.
A Fortress Monroe telegra-c says, In tbe attack
..n tbe First Division of tbe Eighteenth Corps, tba
rebels were defeated wiib great loos. About 400
deserters oame in during tbe action. General
Sheridan, with his command, left White House on
Friday.
Tbe World's special dispatch ofthe 28th, after,
noon, says: Oar correspondent writes nnder data
of yesterday morning, that we now permanently
bold tbe Petersburg and Weldon railroad south of
Petersburg. The Eighteenth oorpa had a severe
fight witb Hill's coprs, and drove tbem back several miles, and we now bold the road. We are
now in an entrenched position, and another important movement Ia In progress.
Tbe Herald's correspondent says, it is reported
tbat tbe force lately under command of Polk, arrived at Petersburg on Saturday a week. Under
date of midnight, the 22J, the correspondent says
tbat during last night tbe Sixth Corps moved to
the left and massed this morning at William's
House. Wilson's and Kaut's cavalry having cut
ihe Weldon Railroad, orders were given to suso
pend operations in tbat direction, and swing tbo
eft of the Second Corps around, so as to develop
he enemy's works in front of Petersburg without
regard to any connection witb the S.xth Corps on
the left. The principal portion of tba troops wero
soon moving to the front. Gibbons waa already
in position and entrenched, aa near the enemya
entrenchments as be could without hazarding a
b .ttie, Mott and Barlow pushed forward their line
ot battle with a heavy skirmish line. Mott was
partly iu position and Barlow approaching tba
crest io front of the rebel works, wben they encountered a heavy force of tbe enemy marching
down In column by brigades, with tbe intention ot
piercing our position at tbe opening between tbo
left ot the Second and right Of the Sixth Corps.
Tbe Second, Third and Fourth Brigadea of Barlow's Divisioa formed bis front line, the First
Brigade being held in reserve. In the assault by
the enemy the rebel General Wilcox led tbe advance of Hill's veteran corps. It was early ih tbo
afternoon wheu tbe bead of tbe rebel column
struck the right of the sixth and left of the Second
Corps.
Tbe position occupied by these corps rendered
il necessary they should immediately withdraw
their flanks thus exposed, and fill tbe existing gap
by making a connection witb each other along tba
liue of entrenchments in their rear. While thia
was being done the enemy inflicted considerable
damage on our men by their murderous fire and
captured several hundred prisoners. From tha
assulting column Barlow and Mott were compelled
to retire, aod tbe enemy swept on over tbe gronnd
lately occupied by them, aod soon came to Gibbons' line, tbe left of whioh had also suffered somewhat In the shock. Tbe rigbt held its position
witb determined courage and poured a murderous
fire into the advancing foe. The musketry fire
was terrific on both sides, as tbe enemy swept over
the angle wbioh marked tbe left of tbe line and
enveloped a battery of four guns, which occupied
an advaooed position, and almost before tbe of-
flceiB were aware ofthe situation of affairs, tbs
battery was practically In tbe bands of the enemy.
Our men held on sometime, firing several rounda
of cannister at the enemy after tbe rebel flag bad
been planted over tbe battery. In tbe meantime
Captain Clark's battery which waa posted in
front of tbe works, farther to the right, opened
on tbe enemy and contributed considerable to
a further advance. The rebels soon tnrned the
captured guns upon us, at tbe same time concentrated a fire of twenty otber pieces on Capt. Clark's
battery. White this active work was going oo at
the right of tbe corps a part of tbe rebel attacking
column, wbicb bad been deployed in line of battle,
was still pressing down upon tbe left. Tbe interval between tbe rigbt of the 6th and tbe left of tbe
Second was gradually growing greater, from the
laot tbat the imperilled flank exposed to the enemy
was slowly melting away, when Miles brigade, of .
Barlow's division, wbich was held in reserve, came
up on a doable quick. One regiment waa sent
forward through tbe woods to check tbe enemy's
advance, while the remainder of the brigade formed behind breastworks to fill tbe Interval in question ; at tbe same time Rady's battery opened, and
the artillery and Infantry soon checked tba farther
progress of the enemy at that point. Scarcely bad
tbese positions been effected wben tbe rebels mad o
another attempt to press the lines a little to tbe
right, but tbe attack was successfully repulsed.
About seven in tbe evening, an effort was made
by Gibbons witb one of his brigades, eupp rUd t.y
one from tbe Fifth Corps, to attempt to retake tbe
lost giouud, tbe attack was very tharp aud spirited, but failed to accomplish the objeet. "
Five tons ol new wheat bave been brought to

MajonbsSt Assp Grkksbacks—The paper promises
of tbe Administration koown as greenbacks, not
redeemable, and whicb are now selling at fifty-
seven cents on tbe dollar, have Masonic emblems
thereon ; the demand notes, which are redeemable
In gold, bave no Masonry about them.
Mr. Cbase is understood to be ao anti-Mason. Mr.
Sewaid, it is well known, started io political life
oo tbat hobby. Was tbis intended as an insult to
Masonry, in placing the square and compass on the
worthless trash, and not on the redeemable, or was
it to bring tbe aid of Masonry to work off the trash ?
Tbe anti-Masonry of the leading member of the
Cabinet would favor tbe first proposition—the,
onnning of Mr. Chase favors the later
The idea of lugging Masonry into politics
and to make it thus give aid to ao Abolition Administration, shows bow little these gentlemen
know abont tbat ancient Order. It bas never dabbled in polities—it has nothing to do with Abolitionism. None unless free horn, and properly
vouched for no matter how worthy or well qualified, can be admitted as a member, aod from tbe
day when tradition says Masonry was established,
at tbe building ol Solomon's Temple, this rule has
never been departed Irom. It is not then, an Abolition institution. Wby, tben, does the administration insult it, or try to use it to give currency to
the irredeemable trash called greenbacks? Who
cau answer!—.Y. F. News.
"PEACE AND GOOD WILL."
Peace and good will! so sang the aogel minstrels
Through tbe calm night on old Jndea's plaint,
Wben as tbe golden gates of Heaven opened
Tbe wondering shepherds heard the immortal
strains.
Peace and good will! oh sound of Joy and blessing
Across Time's ocean wafted sweet and clear,
The lingering tones ol Heaven's own choir possessing,
Be It our watchword for the coming year.
Peace and good will I above the battle's turmoil
Still may that oarol sound to us to-day
From those pare regions where It first was echoed,
Like music breathing from the far away.
Peace and good will! oh waiting wives aod mothers,
Wbnse laving eyes are dimmed with anxious oare,
Ob, Ii ttie children, spotless as tbe angels,
Be this the tenor ofyourCbristian prayer.
'"Oh God of Peace, who boldest all nations
Within the hollow of Tby mighty Hand,
Establish Peaoa witbio our country's borders,
And heal the sorrows of this bleeding land."

Particulars ofthe Engagement of the "Ktar-
sage" and .'Alabama."
Naw Yorr. July 6.—The Times' Paris correspondent says : Notwithstanding the reports, some
time since, that the Alabama was so worn oot that
she wonld have to be abaodoned and never go on
the ocean again, sbe made a trip from tbe East to
Cberburg in snob short time tbat she was thought
to be tbe Florida, and was so telegraphed on ber
arrival. Capt. Winelow, with the Kearsage, who
was then in Holland, was immediately seat for,
and by the protest of Mr. Dayton tbe French authorities were obliged to order the Alabama out
of port Semmes pnt the best face be could oo tbe
matter, though evidently be d d oot like to face a
war ship.- The fight was so short and deceive that
one would bave thought tbe Alabama bad chang.
ed places witb One ot ber unarmed merchantmen-
When the Allbama wbb disabled in ber machinery
the Kearsage was run up close to her and poured
a destructive broadside which tore away a whole
section of tbe Alabama's side at the water line, and
let tbe water through io cascades. Tbe Alabama
then turned tail aod made for shore. Commander
Window hoisted the flag of victory and pursued,bui
finding tbe Alabama sinking, be lowered bis boats
to pick up ber crew. Mr.-Dayton informed Commander Wlnslow that tbe prisoners could not be
paroled, bnt tbat they might be transferred to tbe
St. Louis, wben she arrived and conveyed to the
United States. Commander Winston claims Capt.
Semmes, and others taken to Southampton, as his
prisoners. He bad ample means to pick them up.
bnt the English yacht actually stole tbem, as if by
a pre-arranged plan thus constituting a clear case
lor intervention.
The Tribune's Washington special says Commander Wioslow, of tbe Kearsage, ie recommended by the Secretary of tbe Navy to be promoted
a Commodore. It Is said here that the value of thr
Alabama will be distributed among the officers and
men of lhe Kearsage by tbe next Congress.
Washington, July 6.—The Navy Department
bas received the following :
TT. S. Steamer Kearsage, June 9.
I bave the honor to Inform tbe Department tbat
tbe day subsequent to the arrival of the Kearsage
off Cberburg, tbe 14ih, I received a note Iron
Capt. Semmes, begging tbat the Kearsage would
not depart, as be intended to fight her, aod would
not delay her but a day or two. According to tbis
notice ,tbe Alabama left the port of Cberburg ai
half-past nine this morning, fearing a question of
jurisdiction might arise, we steamed to sea until
the distance of six or seven miles was obtained
from the Cberburg breakwater, wbeo wn rouoded
to aud commenced steering forthe Alabama. As
we approaobed within twelve hundred yards sbe
opened fire, we received two or three broadsides
before a shot was returned. Tbe aotion oontinued,
the respective steamers making a circle aronnd, at
a distance of about four hundred yards from each
other. At the expiration of about an hour the
Alabama struck, going down twenty minutes afterwards, carrying many persons witb ber.
(Signed ) Captain John A. WrasTos.
Halifax, July 6.—The following was received
per steamer Asia : A letter ia tbe Paris Patne
states tbat Captain Semmes bas annouooed tbat on
the 15th of August, be will again embark on a new
Alabama, which will be completed at tbat date.
Rumor points to tbe steamer Rappahannock, tbe
ex-British war vessel, whicb stole away from
Sbearness to Calais. A committee headed by Ad
miral Adsoo, haa been formed ia London to raise
means therefor.
Thdblow Weed on a Matter or Conscience.—
Tbis veteran politician, iu a recent letttr to the
Albany Evening Journal, thus applies tbe rod to
two of bti friends :
"It is tn be regretted, also, that leading boiste
rous abolitionists, who are so free of iheir abuse of
all who differ with tbem, fail to jnetify tbeir precepts by tbeir examples. Tbe editor of the Independent whose zeal for the draft led him to rail at
all who questioned its wisdom, when drafted himself iogloriously shirks from taking his share of

more mortifying, if possible, is the course of Mayor Opdyke, whose dratted sou iostead of gallantly stepping forward, as an example to paes men,

conventions and in proclamations ; he is gorged
witb Government contracts; be leans heavily upon
tbe Government to make good bis lost profits;
but his son, wben dralted, is not strong enough to
be a soldier! He is, however, strong enough to
bold offices; but tbese offices do not expose him to
anything but salary and fees. Being a soldier ia
quite a difiereat thing. Out upou sucb false pretentions—such oheap loyalty—such bogus patriot

Tbe Presidency.
We have reoeived the following communication :
Reading, Pa., May 10, 1864.
To the Editor of the A ew York Newt:
Tbe Peace men of this vicinity want to know if
the Daily News will support a War Democrat for
tbe Presidency. Peace Democrat.
We are suprised that a Peace Democrat should
have asked suoh a question. He surely cannot
be lainiliar wilh the columns of the Daily News.
We have attempted to render our position npon
tbat point as plain aad unequivocal aB possible.
Tbe Daily Ntws will support Wr-the Presidency
none bnt a iborougb and unmistakable Peace man.
We bave reason to hope tbat, in view of the rapidly increasing strength ofthe Peace element, tbe
Democracy will nominate a candidate upon tbe
Peace platform Should tbey not do so tbe Daily
News will be identified witb no candidate for the
Presidency. We have stated lu a recent article
tbat we know no distinction between a War Democrat and tbe most rabid and incorrigible Aboli-
tioniat.—^V. Y. Newt. .
EASTERN INTELLIGENCE.
New York, June 27 —The Tribune's special,
from tbe army of the 25th, says : Baldy Smith ia
holding a position next to the Appomattox, within a mile of the eity. He bas a lioe stretching
along the plain at right-angles with tha river.—
He was attacked by the rebels on Friday morning,
tbey holding the position opposite tbe river.—
They opened at six o'clock with sixty cannon,
thus subjecting the Eighteenth Corps to an enfilading fire. Shortly after they opened musketry fire,
and another rebel force In our front advanced upon
our works. Their repulse was tbe work of bat a
few moments. One hundred and sixty-five of
tbem were taken prisoners
Tbe Times' of the 24th says : It Is ascertained
that Longstreet and Hill moved towards Weldon,
having vacated tbe entrenchments In our front
dnring the skirmish this morning. From prisoners it is ascertained tbat Beauregard's main ara
my is now covering Petersburg, while Lee's foroea
are moving toour left, witb what design remains to
be seen. Deserters report oar shelling of Petersburg as very disastrous. Tbey also say tbat the)
rebel army Is constantly marching and couu-
ermarcblng to guard against expected attacks.
A Fortress Monroe telegra-c says, In tbe attack
..n tbe First Division of tbe Eighteenth Corps, tba
rebels were defeated wiib great loos. About 400
deserters oame in during tbe action. General
Sheridan, with his command, left White House on
Friday.
Tbe World's special dispatch ofthe 28th, after,
noon, says: Oar correspondent writes nnder data
of yesterday morning, that we now permanently
bold tbe Petersburg and Weldon railroad south of
Petersburg. The Eighteenth oorpa had a severe
fight witb Hill's coprs, and drove tbem back several miles, and we now bold the road. We are
now in an entrenched position, and another important movement Ia In progress.
Tbe Herald's correspondent says, it is reported
tbat tbe force lately under command of Polk, arrived at Petersburg on Saturday a week. Under
date of midnight, the 22J, the correspondent says
tbat during last night tbe Sixth Corps moved to
the left and massed this morning at William's
House. Wilson's and Kaut's cavalry having cut
ihe Weldon Railroad, orders were given to suso
pend operations in tbat direction, and swing tbo
eft of the Second Corps around, so as to develop
he enemy's works in front of Petersburg without
regard to any connection witb the S.xth Corps on
the left. The principal portion of tba troops wero
soon moving to the front. Gibbons waa already
in position and entrenched, aa near the enemya
entrenchments as be could without hazarding a
b .ttie, Mott and Barlow pushed forward their line
ot battle with a heavy skirmish line. Mott was
partly iu position and Barlow approaching tba
crest io front of the rebel works, wben they encountered a heavy force of tbe enemy marching
down In column by brigades, with tbe intention ot
piercing our position at tbe opening between tbo
left ot the Second and right Of the Sixth Corps.
Tbe Second, Third and Fourth Brigadea of Barlow's Divisioa formed bis front line, the First
Brigade being held in reserve. In the assault by
the enemy the rebel General Wilcox led tbe advance of Hill's veteran corps. It was early ih tbo
afternoon wheu tbe bead of tbe rebel column
struck the right of the sixth and left of the Second
Corps.
Tbe position occupied by these corps rendered
il necessary they should immediately withdraw
their flanks thus exposed, and fill tbe existing gap
by making a connection witb each other along tba
liue of entrenchments in their rear. While thia
was being done the enemy inflicted considerable
damage on our men by their murderous fire and
captured several hundred prisoners. From tha
assulting column Barlow and Mott were compelled
to retire, aod tbe enemy swept on over tbe gronnd
lately occupied by them, aod soon came to Gibbons' line, tbe left of whioh had also suffered somewhat In the shock. Tbe rigbt held its position
witb determined courage and poured a murderous
fire into the advancing foe. The musketry fire
was terrific on both sides, as tbe enemy swept over
the angle wbioh marked tbe left of tbe line and
enveloped a battery of four guns, which occupied
an advaooed position, and almost before tbe of-
flceiB were aware ofthe situation of affairs, tbs
battery was practically In tbe bands of the enemy.
Our men held on sometime, firing several rounda
of cannister at the enemy after tbe rebel flag bad
been planted over tbe battery. In tbe meantime
Captain Clark's battery which waa posted in
front of tbe works, farther to the right, opened
on tbe enemy and contributed considerable to
a further advance. The rebels soon tnrned the
captured guns upon us, at tbe same time concentrated a fire of twenty otber pieces on Capt. Clark's
battery. White this active work was going oo at
the right of tbe corps a part of tbe rebel attacking
column, wbicb bad been deployed in line of battle,
was still pressing down upon tbe left. Tbe interval between tbe rigbt of the 6th and tbe left of tbe
Second was gradually growing greater, from the
laot tbat the imperilled flank exposed to the enemy
was slowly melting away, when Miles brigade, of .
Barlow's division, wbich was held in reserve, came
up on a doable quick. One regiment waa sent
forward through tbe woods to check tbe enemy's
advance, while the remainder of the brigade formed behind breastworks to fill tbe Interval in question ; at tbe same time Rady's battery opened, and
the artillery and Infantry soon checked tba farther
progress of the enemy at that point. Scarcely bad
tbese positions been effected wben tbe rebels mad o
another attempt to press the lines a little to tbe
right, but tbe attack was successfully repulsed.
About seven in tbe evening, an effort was made
by Gibbons witb one of his brigades, eupp rUd t.y
one from tbe Fifth Corps, to attempt to retake tbe
lost giouud, tbe attack was very tharp aud spirited, but failed to accomplish the objeet. "
Five tons ol new wheat bave been brought to
